MoveOn.org Shouldn't Attack Petraueus BUT Bolton Can Smear Entire National Intelligence Establishment?

When MoveOn.org ran full page ads just before the Congressional testimony of General David Petraeus and Ryan Crocker with huge headlines saying "General Petraeus or General Betray Us?", John Bolton's fellow travelers went great lengths to condemn Move On for its lack of appropriate respect for dedicated national security leaders. Resolutions in the House and Senate were passed to condemn Move On.

But in today's Washington Post, John Bolton -- who in addition to his own State Department team was infamous for trying to mine raw intelligence and manipulate it towards political ends -- essentially accuses the entire national security intelligence establishment of betraying American interests in the 2007 Iran National Intelligence Estimate.

1. Now you understand how things are supposed to work. As Saint Ronnie

once asserted, they paid for the microphone so they get to determine what gets said.

4. Maybe Bolton should run for a public office. Then he can speak to all

Americans and have them pass judgement on him. As far as I'm concerned, he's just a freeloader off the public trough.
